Off the Map: Cancelled TV Series Coming to DVD

Published: June 6, 2011

There won’t be a second season of ABC’s freshman medical drama, Off the Map, but there’s still some backstage material that fans haven’t seen yet. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the cancelled series is coming to DVD on August 23rd.

All 13 episodes will be included and presented in anamorphic widescreen video, English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, and with French and Spanish subtitles. In addition, there will be extras like deleted scenes, outtakes, and featurettes like “Jungle Medicine” and “On the Set at Off the Map.”

The three-disc set will retail for $29.99 but you’ll be able to find it a lot cheaper if you look around. You can currently pre-order Off The Map: The Complete Series for $20.99 at Amazon. There’s no word on a Blu-ray release, likely because the TV show only ran for one season and the company is unsure if they’d sell enough copies.

What do you think? Are you interested in picking up the Off the Map DVD set? Would you like a Blu-ray release? What “extras” would you like to see included?

Every time there’s a show that I like, it gets cancelled. I know it’s so much cheaper to make those cheesy reality shows which aren’t really reality, but leave something good on for some of us. I don’t think that you gave it long enough. No, I won’t buy the DVD set, I’m not supporting any of these companies anymore.

I am so bummed this new show got cancelled!!!! I have very little room for new shows in my life but I seemed to find time for this one . Now it is gone……………….. I will not be buying the series………. I want to see new shows not ones I have already seen.

I’ve got the series saved on my DVR, so the only way I’d buy the DVD is if it included resolution to the cliff-hanger ending. To be honest, I’m still too annoyed that the show was cancelled to support the company that pulled the plug on it.
